  Welcome to The Hypnotist, the show that gives you inside

  access to cutting edge hypnosis with real clients facing genuine
• 0:07
  issues. Brought to you by the
• 0:10
  hypnotherapist, demanded by celebrities, CEOs and even
• 0:14
  royalty. Adam Cox.
• 0:16
  These recordings took place live from Adam's clinic in London's
• 0:19
  world famous Harley Street. This podcast features powerful
• 0:23
  hypnosis, so do not listen while driving or operating machinery.
• 0:27
  This recording is not suitable for those with epilepsy or
• 0:30
  severe mental health issues, so get yourself comfortable and
• 0:34
  enjoy today's episode of The Hypnotist.
• 0:41
  Hi, it's Adam here. And in today's episode of The
• 0:44
  Hypnotist, you can be listening to a hypnosis session built
• 0:49
  around the core of authenticity. And I was working with a client
• 0:54
  that felt incredibly relaxed against old.
• 0:59
  Or with. Old childhood friends.
• 1:01
  They felt in their company they could really be themselves.
• 1:04
  No mask, no pretense, they could just really be who they wanted
• 1:08
  to be. But they found themselves in
• 1:11
  certain situations feeling that they had to play a role, to not
• 1:16
  really be who they were and to hold something back.
• 1:21
  And what this session is all about is giving themself
• 1:25
  permission to be very authentic, very confident and unapologetic
• 1:33
  in who they are. And they found it almost
• 1:38
  challenging to see other people really connecting to an identity
• 1:44
  or a role and really owning that and defending that.
• 1:48
  And they felt that they couldn't do it to the same level.
• 1:51
  So what you're going to hear is this idea that if it's good for
• 1:53
  the goose, it's good for the gander, that if they're willing
• 1:56
  to respect other people's, you know, desire to be who they are,
• 2:02
  then. Surely.
• 2:04
  That gives them absolute permission to really be who they
• 2:07
  are, and that's really what this session is all about.
• 2:10
  Also, they felt a little bit of unease in certain situations.
• 2:14
  They wanted to lean into this more maverick, adventurous side
• 2:19
  of their personality. So this idea that doing what
• 2:23
  you've already done is definitely not an adventure, and
• 2:26
  this element of playing it safe is definitely not an adventure.
• 2:30
  So therefore things that are new or involve risk are by design
• 2:35
  more adventurous. They're more pioneering.
• 2:37
  They're outside the comfort zone.
• 2:40
  So if you like the idea of being more yourself, being really
• 2:44
  authentically you, giving yourself permission to just live
• 2:47
  life on your terms and to have more adventure, have more
• 2:52
  courage and take more risks, then I think you'll get value
• 2:55
  from this session. Of course, it was created for an
• 2:57
  individual person. It happened to be a man that I
• 3:00
  was working with. Some of the suggestions might be
• 3:02
  right for that client and totally not right for you.
• 3:05
  So take what is relevant, ignore what isn't.
• 3:08
  And if you do like the idea of some kind of customized,
• 3:12
  calibrated session just for you, then there will be a link in the
• 3:16
  show notes where you can schedule a free consultation
• 3:18
  call to explore working with me. For now though, find a quiet,
• 3:21
  comfortable place where you won't be disturbed.
• 3:23
  Relax and enjoy the session. Take a deep breath in, and as
• 4:05
  you breathe in, feel like you're breathing in a concentrated form
• 4:13
  of pure relaxation. Breathing in that relaxation,
• 4:21
  and as you exhale, imagine exhaling the opposite, which
• 4:30
  could be tension or stress or even trepidation.
• 4:37
  Feel that you're breathing in what you need and exhaling what
• 4:46
  you don't. And I want you to scan your body
• 4:52
  for any clues of tension, but also clues of anxiety or
• 5:00
  anticipation. And normally that anxiety or
• 5:06
  anticipation or trepidation is lurking somewhere in the gut or
• 5:14
  near the solar plexus. But as you breathe in that
• 5:19
  distilled, concentrated, pure form of relaxation, imagine it
• 5:29
  seeking out and dissolving, diluting or just releasing any
• 5:36
  feelings of anxiety. And then imagine that displaced
• 5:43
  anxiety leaving your body in your outward breath.
• 5:52
  You're breathing in relaxation, exhaling tension and feeling
• 5:57
  like you're drifting off deeper and deeper, relaxed.
• 6:11
  The deeper you breathe, the more relaxed you become.
• 6:15
  And the more relaxed you become, the deeper and more effortless
• 6:21
  you breathe. And notice that you can settle
• 6:26
  into a place of deep relaxation. Feel yourself becoming more and
• 6:35
  more at ease, almost like you're sinking comfortably into this
• 6:43
  moment. As your body relaxes, your
• 6:52
  imagination awakens. And I want you to imagine.
• 6:59
  Imagine a feeling of positive nostalgia taking you back to a
• 7:08
  moment. A moment with friends in a
• 7:15
  particular coffee shop, almost like you're going back in time
• 7:22
  to a moment feeling like you're in your own body, in that place.
• 7:30
  And maybe you can recall where you were sitting, what you were
• 7:35
  wearing, but more importantly, how you were feeling.
• 7:42
  Maybe there's other people around and you can hear that
• 7:45
  gentle harm of conversation, the soft clinking of cups or maybe
• 7:57
  the smell of coffee or even pastries filling the air.
• 8:06
  I want you to connect without feeling of comfort.
• 8:09
  You feel comfortable here. Maybe that's connected to a
• 8:15
  feeling of warmth, relaxation, or even joy.
• 8:28
  You feel at ease. You feel it's safe to be
• 8:33
  yourself, entirely, completely, authentically you, and maybe you
• 8:46
  can see the faces of familiar friends.
• 8:54
  As you see their faces, notice how relaxed you feel, how easy
• 9:00
  it is to smile, to talk, how laughter begins to flow
• 9:06
  effortlessly. Not those kind of fake laughs
• 9:11
  you hear in polite conversation. Real laughter, real joy, real
• 9:18
  smiles, where conversations spark and dance, and with every
• 9:24
  word you are reminded of how good it feels to just be
• 9:30
  yourself. No masks, no rules, no need to
• 9:39
  be anything other than who you are.
• 9:44
  Completely and unapologetically authentic.
• 9:56
  And as you continue to enjoy this moment, you begin to notice
• 10:02
  something interesting, like time is beginning to bend and shift.
• 10:09
  Minutes stretch into hours, yet it all feels like one wonderful,
• 10:16
  seamless moment where the outside world fades away and all
• 10:23
  that exists is this deep sense of connection, laughter, and
• 10:31
  freedom. And that sensation of being so
• 10:38
  engaged, so in flow with the moment is the same feeling you
• 10:46
  can carry with you in other areas of your life.
• 10:53
  That sense of ease, of joy, of freedom to simply be.
• 11:01
  That is the truth of who you are, not of who you're trying to
• 11:09
  pretend to be, but who you are at your core.
• 11:20
  And as you bask in that memory, let a thought begin to grow in
• 11:24
  your mind like a seed planted in fertile soil.
• 11:30
  What if life itself was like this?
• 11:35
  What if every new experience, every new place, every adventure
• 11:40
  was just another table in a coffee shop waiting for you to
• 11:44
  sit down and embrace it fully? That adventure isn't something
• 11:52
  to fear. Outside of your comfort zone is
• 11:57
  the place where you thrive. The place where you unlock a new
• 12:03
  level of confidence and self belief.
• 12:08
  And every time you step outside of your comfort zone, you are
• 12:14
  stepping into a space where you can be even more of yourself.
• 12:22
  And that is exciting, that is invigorating, that feels
• 12:32
  empowering. And just as you respect the
• 12:41
  right of others to live as they choose, you now ground yourself
• 12:47
  the same freedom. You no longer seek permission to
• 12:53
  be yourself in certain situations, in certain
• 12:58
  combinations of people. You are giving permission to
• 13:04
  yourself that you are enough. You are strong.
• 13:14
  You are a maverick spirit ready to explore the world on your own
• 13:20
  terms, and as you take another deep breath in, feel this new
• 13:30
  belief locking into place. From this moment forward, you
• 13:38
  choose wonderful positive anticipation over anxiety.
• 13:47
  Anxiety is thinking of undesirable things happening in
• 13:52
  the future. Perhaps optimism?
• 13:57
  Or positive anticipation. Is just having a sense that good
• 14:00
  things will happen in your future.
• 14:07
  You are embracing optimism over hesitation, empowerment over
• 14:14
  fear. The unknown no longer feels
• 14:19
  intimidating, it feels the most desirable place for you.
• 14:29
  It feels like an open Rd. an invitation to become even more
• 14:36
  of who you are always meant to be.
• 14:39
  Because you are a pioneer, a trailblazer, and when you travel
• 14:49
  you will find that your true self shines brighter than ever,
• 14:57
  especially to places you've never been before.
• 14:59
  Because nobody holds any preconceived ideas of who you
• 15:04
  are. So you really get to be you and
• 15:10
  notice the reaction. The more or authentic you are,
• 15:17
  the more comfortable you feel. And the more comfortable you
• 15:21
  feel, the easier it becomes to connect with others.
• 15:29
  New places and new people will be a catalyst for new
• 15:33
  confidence, and new experiences will be reminders that you are
• 15:42
  limitless as you feel a desire to lean into your authenticity,
• 15:52
  knowing that what others think does not define you, it defines
• 15:59
  them. Only you can define you.
• 16:14
  I want you to imagine shifting from the past and now gazing
• 16:19
  into your future, almost like you're seeing yourself.
• 16:24
  Like you're a character in a book or an actor in a movie, but
• 16:29
  see the future of you being unapologetically authentic.
• 16:38
  Still respectful, but authentic. And think of a specific context,
• 16:48
  environment or occasion that you know is coming up for you
• 16:53
  anyway. But this time see yourself being
• 17:03
  the most authentic version of you.
• 17:11
  Notice how you talk, how relaxed you look, your facial
• 17:16
  expression. I want you to get a sense that
• 17:25
  you can be you 100% and the more you observe
• 17:40
  yourself, the more you feel you are priming yourself to be this
• 17:45
  person in that context. And if you choose to, you could
• 17:57
  imagine stepping into that thought and feeling that.
• 18:09
  Being that, now it's time to return to the present.
• 18:16
  But taking all of these feelings back with you and the version of
• 18:22
  you returns is the most authentic version of you.
• 18:30
  So take a deep breath in through your nose and out through your
• 18:35
  nose. Wiggle your fingers and wiggle
• 18:39
  your toes. Start to calibrate with the here
• 18:41
  and the now, not the. Past.
• 18:43
  Not the future, but right here in the present as I count from
• 18:47
  1:00 to 10:00 to awaken you. Starting to count 123 Waking up
• 18:55
  456. More alert 7-8.
• 18:59
  Open your eyes. Open your eyes, 910.
• 19:02
  Wide awake. Wide awake.
• 19:05
  Wind awake. Thank you for listening to The
